How to Create a Fax Coversheet

Create a custom fax coversheet, add your logo and personalized details with variables, and set it as your primary coversheet.

Where do I find Fax Coversheets?

You can get there two ways:

  • From Admin: In the Inbox, select Admin (top right), then Fax Coversheets.

  • From Fax: Select Fax in the left-hand menu, then Coversheets in the top right.

The Coversheets page lists all your practice’s coversheets on the left. Use Filter by name to search them.

How do I create a new coversheet?

  1. Select New Fax Coversheet (top right).

  2. Enter a Coversheet Name (required).

  3. Optional: Check Primary Coversheet to make it your default.

  4. Design the coversheet in the editor, using the toolbar and variables.

  5. Select Save.


What is a Primary Coversheet?

The primary coversheet is the one your practice uses by default when sending faxes. In the coversheet list, it’s marked with a Primary label.

The Personalize your Message panel on the right lists every variable and shows a preview of what it will display.
